My son totally floored me when he told me that he wants a dinosaur as a gift! He said he wants something that walks, bites, terrorizes insects and pets around the house on two legs. Wait, terrorizes insects and pets around the house?

He was talking about the battery-powered WowWee Roboraptor, the dinosaur robot that walks and runs, whipping its tail and snapping its jaws as it hunts for prey and affection. Yes, affection.

This 32-inch-long robot uses infrared vision to detect object in its path and has touch and sound sensors in its chin, mouth, and tail.

Above all, it costs $100 (batteries not included)
